“Now, the big box office successes are superhero stories. It seems there's a lowest common denominator mentality, in terms of movies that are almost purely visual, that anyone can understand anywhere in the world. Good robot, bad robot: they fight. You don't need to know anything apart from that. And then we can make toys that look like that robot - and sell those toys or video games.” KnowsWorldNeedsLooksStoriesBigsSeemsFightingGamesTermCommonOfficeSellsBoxesVideoVisualsMentalityToysLowestRobotsSuperheroBox OfficeCommon DenominatorLowest Common DenominatorBox Office Success Author:Terence Winter

“What I like about narrative in general is when there is some incongruity between the form and content. Let's say, mixing up the gothic with a coming-of-age narrative. Telling a love story that's also a monster story. Mixing up superhero tropes with your monster tropes. I like category confusion.” StoriesAgeFormMonstersLove StoryConfusionNarrativeComing Of AgeCategoriesSuperheroGothicMixingTropesIncongruity Author:Kelly Link
“X-Men is not a story about superheroes, but a story about the ongoing revolutionary struggle between good/new and bad/old.

“Ive always loved the power of stories to transport me to another world, to imagine extraordinary possibilities, to experience things I may not have access to in my regular life - like being a superhero!
